Example:
As usual Bob overindulged during Passover. Some social drinks before dinner, the standard four cups of wine, some more wine during the meal, and some after dinner drinks; a night of crapulent behavior. All was mostly fine, but Bob still can't remember where he hid the Afikomen.

oh my GOD! This is a real word? I always just thought Mr. Burns made it up ('wallow in your own crapulance!') - but he is more known for using anachronistic language, so this makes more sense! Killer! Awesome! Thanks!

Of course
